Edinburgh International Book Festival Fiction (Adults) £15.50
John Lanchester & Alexander Starritt: Work/Life Balance
John Lanchester, Alexander Starritt
Courtyard Theatre 25 Aug
14.00 1hr

Two masters of observational fiction come together to explore why our feelings around work and money can reveal the deepest truths. Alexander Starritt’s Drayton and Mackenzie, a friendship epic about two entrepreneurs, was the first novel in 15 years to grace the Financial Times’s Business Book of the Year longlist, while John Lanchester’s black comedy, Look What You Made Me Do, poses the question: is it ever ethical to profit from another person’s pain?

Supported by Claire & Mark Urquhart.
